| Highbullen is ideally placed to explore both the countryside and the spectacular coast of North Devon. The Victorian market town of South Molton lies 6 miles away, with its shops, inns, restaurants, antique and curio shops and is the `gateway' to the soft and beautiful landscapes of Exmoor National Park, home to red deer, ponies, sheep and a variety of natural flowers and wildlife. This is counterbalanced by wilder and more rugged Dartmoor to the south.
Beautiful gardens such as RHS Rosemoor, Knightshayes Court and Killerton House can be found within a short drive from the hotel, as can Dartington Crystal and the Eden Project.
The varied landscape is bordered by the dramatic coastline, awaiting exploration. Instow on the Taw Estuary (10miles) has a large sandy beach backed by dunes, where the sheltered waters are ideal for water skiing, windsurfing, sailing and sea fishing. With a selection of inns and restaurants, Instow makes the perfect spot to watch the sun set over the bay on a summer's evening. The scenic Tarka Trail takes in the delights of both the inland countryside and stunning estuary, offering miles of cycle and footpaths.
The awe-inspiring coastlines of the North Devon coast are close by - Hartland Point with towering cliffs and jagged rocks reaching out into the fierce Atlantic Ocean contrast with the picturesque fishing villages such as Clovelly, offering timeless charm preserved by the lack of traffic in its narrow cobbled streets. Reduced green fees at Saunton Golf Course and Royal North Devon, two of the finest links courses in the UK, 35-minute drive. Riding locally. Shop and pub serving food, ½ mile.
